dekeguy, I actually agree with your last post completely. I do agree that IDEALLY, the system that is set up is the best possible one. However, REALISTICALLY, is it not carried out as it was intended. Or maybe it is. Let me explain.
The form of government that we are under is not what bothers me. It is the the way it is practiced, which fosters classism, oppression, and a general hierarchy. It has nothing to do with the structure of the government, instead it is about the people who are running it, and the mentality that has pervaded the leadership of this country since day one.
In this society, capital is power. I doubt anyone will argue with that. The problem is that the capital rests with ONE group of people, and they are not interested in seeing any other group progress. In fact, they are threatened by it, so they find covert ways to stifle it. The fact that this cycle perpetuates itself is what concerns me. I don't blame the GOVERNMENT ITSELF so much as I blame the corrupt nature of the people in it. Does that clear it up?
